Not only the best song on the album, but one of Opeth's best songs period! And
quite possibly the greatest intro to a song ever.

The Grand Conjuration

This is interchangeable with The Baying of the Hounds in my opinion, I only put
this
higher because of the moment when he screams "THEEEEEEEE GRAAAAAND
COOOONJURRAAAAATIOOOOOOOON!"

The Baying of the Hounds

Another fantastic song, love the keyboards on this track.

4

Isolation Years

This is just a beautiful song, and has a chorus that gets stuck in your head
easily.
Very glad they decided to keep this song on the album despite it not being
connected to the rest of the concept.

5

Beneath the Mire

This is a sort of weird song, but I think it's pretty underrated.

6

Hours of Wealth

Another beautiful song, especially after the lyrics come in, and surprisingly
goes
well into The Grand Conjuration.

Reverie/Harlequin Forest

This is a song I've just never loved as much as a lot of people. It's sort of a
fan
favorite but I don't quite understand why. The verses are awesome and the ending
is very cool and complex, but the whole middle just bores me and I can't help
but
look at my ipod to see how much longer there is whenever I listen to it.

Atonement

Not a bad song, kinda groovy, but it just doesn't stand up to the rest of the
album
in my opinion.
